In Obama's Heath Care Campaign Conference last night (the man intends on running in campaign mode for his entire term) - we won't get into what was said about health care (basically about 45 minutes full of absolutely nothing) - the President did interject racism and used his stage to 'stupidly' accuse a Law Enforcement agency.
See right through the double standard.....it goes both ways, Barry. That was a racist statement. Is this part of what you learned in Rev. Wright's church you attended for 20 years?

Obama's Comments on Gates Arrest Stir Reaction
When asked about the Gates' case at the end of Wednesday night's prime-time news conference that was intended to be chiefly about health care, the president said, "I don't know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that."
But Obama went on to say, "But I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. That's just a fact."

Police say Gates yelled at the officers and initially refused to show his ID. Gates allegedly yelled “this is what happens to a black man in America” and “you don’t know who you’re messing with” before he was arrested, and police said he was uncooperative. ( read the arrest report )
